We admit it. When we set out to create our second sensational light roast coffee, we took a page from our own playbook. Page One: use a great coffee. The grade of Costa Rica we selected for Aurora, like the Colombia we roast in Luminosa, is the top grade, Strictly Hard Bean Fancy, from the highlands of Tarrazú, or Naranjo, wherever we can find the double sweet, Lemon Bar intensity of a great Costa.

Page Two: Accent the great coffee with another great coffee, creating something that could be conceived of equally as a blend, or a uniquely augmented single-origin. Here we round the flavor of Aurora, and enhance its aromatic dimension, with a floral flourish of silky Kenya. The deep, molasses-like sugar browning notes, exceptional suavity, and signature note of blackcurrant could come from no other origin.

So Costa Rica is the star of a blend that Kenya renders celestial, just as Ethiopia enlightens Colombia in our elegant Luminosa. Similar in concept, impeccable in quality, uniquely brilliant in the cup, may they become fixtures of the light roast firmament.

Love this coffee, it is honestly better than a lot of the more expensive Latin American coffees I used to drink. This is now my morning treat, grinding the beans and then taking in the wonderful aroma as it brews. The taste is smooth, not too bitter or acidic like a lot of lighter roasts. I am glad Peet's does offer lighter roast coffees, these are some of the best you will find anywhere.

I loved this coffee. It was very smooth and mild. There was no bitter or acid like taste. If you like mild this is delicious and needed less sugar and cream since it had some sweetness to it.
I would definitely order these Beans again.

Juicy acidity to begin with, followed by honeyed sweetness and a milk chocolate finish. The roast is light yet fully developed.

Saw this at a local store and thought I'd give it a try. I loved it. I actually kept the bag so I would not forget which coffee it was. It is a very flavorful coffee without that overly roasted taste. It has some subtle hint of citrus and as soon as you notice and are about to say hmmm that's...it's gone so it does not take away from the great coffee flavor. This will be my next go to coffee. I ended up with ground by mistake. If ground was this good I can't wait to get whole bean and grind it fresh.
